These were really tasty! We omitted the mushrooms because of non-mushroom eaters, and added some Worcestershire sauce. We ended up needing way more bread crumbs so be sure to drain beans well! The patties didn't hold together very well and tried to stick a lot, so next time we're going to brush them with olive oil.

Very good recipe for black bean burgers, hence the four stars, but I think I’m about to give up my quest for bean burgers and admit that we just don’t like them that much, which is not a reflection on this recipe at all. I did expect the recipe to be a bit spicier and flavorful than it was, but I used a lot more bread crumbs, well over a cup, and cut back on the cumin, so maybe that is why. I once made a recipe that called for a lot of cumin and it didn’t agree with me. At six servings, the cumin in this recipe is one-half teaspoon per burger. Also, the burgers were huge. Which was fine, just FYI.

I actually cooked these in a nonstick pan and used used about an eighth cup more breadcrumbs and they were fine. The smaller ones were easier to flip and were more firm than the bigger patties, so I'd recommend keeping them smaller if you cook these like this. The taste was pretty good, but I agree with another reviewer that it would be better as a taco filling. The texture just wasn't quite right to be a burger to me. But I will definitely try this as a taco filling or a topping for nachos. Mmm...

These were great burgers! I followed the recipe exactly except for putting 1 can black beans and 1 can garbanzo. I thought the flavor of the seasoning was good. I gave 4 stars because of the consistency and the yield amount. The patties were very soft so I added 1-1/2 cups of bread crumbs instead of the 1 cup so that they would hold up nice. Also, I doubled the batch because I was making these for a get together and I ended up with 22 burgers!! I only needed 12. So the rest are going in the freezer. The adults liked the burgers, but none of the kids did. All in all it's a good recipe and I will make these again.
